Recordings

1. Demo version.
   Released in 1992 on the The Bull with the Golden Guts cassette.

   Andy: “Written for the film ‘Buster’, hence the lyrics pertaining to The Great Train Robbery. Phil Collins rejected it, and I never saw ‘Buster’, so there!”

   Also available on Fuzzy Warbles Volume Three.

   Andy: “So good they rejected it twice. Originally written for the Great Train Robbery film Buster, hence the railway imagery. Phil didn't want it, so years later when I was asked did I have an early '60s ish type song for the film That Thing You Do? I could supply them with this to throw back in my face. Rejection makes me stronger, rejection makes me stronger.”

   Also released on the Blu-ray reissue of Oranges & Lemons on 30 October 2015 in the U.K.
2. Live at Ocean Way Studio, L.A.
   Mike Keneally - guitar

Lyrics

My train is coming
I can see it up the line line line
My train is coming
and what's on it's all mine

My train is coming
I can hear it up the track track track
My train is coming
Bringing sugar time back

Oh little darling
since you've gone I've been so sad and blue
Little darling
if you come home I'll be good to you
Got to get it while it's here
That's a lesson that is clear
Got to get it while it's here
and I hear

My train is coming
I can see it up the line line line
My train is coming
and what's on it's all mine

Little darling
since you've gone I realize I'm wrong
Little darling
ride that railroad back where you belong
Got to get it while it's here...

My train is coming
I can see it up the line line line
My train is coming
and it's slap bang on time

My train is coming
What I did was a crime.
My train is coming
and what's on it's all mine.

[Thanks to Dave Franson]
